Urban Public Transport Accessibility in Colombia by Walking Distance

Estimated share of urban population who can access a public transport stop within a walking distance of 500 meters for low capacity systems and/or 1000 meters for high capacity systems along the street network. The dataset is provided by the United Nations Human Settlements Programme, Data and Analytics Section and was last updated on 2026-05 06.

Use Cases

• Assess urban transport equity based on estimated population access to stops.
• Model service coverage gaps for low and high capacity public transport systems.
• Inform infrastructure investment decisions using walking distance accessibility metrics.

Strengths

• Data is provided by the authoritative United Nations Human Settlements Programme.
• The description specifies precise walking distance thresholds (500m and 1000m) for analysis.
• Available in common, accessible file formats (CSV, XLSX).

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Freshness should be verified as the last update date is 2026-05-06.
